EFFECTS OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE AND QUALITY OF HUMAN RESOURCES ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF POST-DISASTER REHABILITATION AND RECONSTRUCTION PROGRAMS IN SUB-DISTRICTS KUTA RAJA AND LUENG BATA, THE CITY OF BANDA ACEH, INDONESIA
Henny Dwi Purnamasari, Dewi Sulistyani, Budi Supriyatno Abstract: This study aims at determining the effects of organizational culture and the quality of human resources on the effectiveness of the Post Disaster Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Programs in Kuta Raja and Lueng Bata Sub districts, the city of Banda Aceh, Indonesia. The significance of this study is due to the fact of the ineffectiveness of post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction programs undertaken by the local government and community in the Kuta Raja and Lueng Bata Sub-districts, Banda Aceh City, Indonesia. Methods to collect the data were conducted by both quantitative and qualitative survey using questionnaires, in-depth interview and field observations. These data were then statistically analysed by using multiple regression analysis. In addition to that, secondary data published by the local government and the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) were also collected to support the analysis. The results showed that both organizational culture and the quality of human resources partially and jointly have significant effects on the effectiveness of the implementation of the Post-Disaster Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Programs in these two sub-districts. Therefore, to make the implementation of the programs works effectively, serious attention toward local culture to response the natural disaster needs to be given by the governments. The governments should also educate and train the community how to response the natural disasters before as well as after the disaster happening.
Oxidative Degradation of Methyl Green Dye by Cyanide Ion in Aqueous Perchloric Acid Medium; Kinetics, Thermodynamic and Mechanistic Approach
Sulaiman B. A., Osunlaja, A. A., Mallam W. J., Ndahi N. P. and Mindia A. A. Abstract: The Kinetics of the redox reaction of methyl green (MG2+) and Cyanide ion (CN-) in aqueous HClO4 has been investigated spectrophotometrically at [H+] = 2.0 x 10-3 mol/dm3, µ = 0.196 mol/dm3, T = 31±1oC and λmax= 630 nm. The reaction is first order in (oxidant: reductant). With second order overall, with stoichiometry of 1:2 (Oxidant:Reductant). The observed rate constants were not affected by changes in acid concentration, but enhanced by change in ionic strength concentration. The rate constant was catalyzed mildly with varying dielectric constant of the reaction medium. Added anions have no effect the reaction while cations inhibit the reaction rate.
AUTHORITIES OF REGIONAL GOVERNMENTS IN COLLECTING TAXES IN INDONESIA
Daryanto Abstract: The Preamble of the 1945 Constitution laid the foundation for the Government including the Autonomous Regional Government in achieving its goal to improve the welfare of the people through the implementation of its development policies and programs. Of the many instruments to finance the programs, the regional governments impose taxes. To support the implementation of taxes, the regional government issued Regional Regulations, while the procedure for collecting taxes is formulated in the Regional Head Regulations. This study has two objectives. The first is to address the authorities of regional government (Province, Regency, and City) in regulating the collection of taxes. The second is to examine how the discretion of regulatory authority in the procedure for collecting provincial and district / city taxes. Method used to examine these problems is by reviewing three theories, namely (1) the theory of regional autonomy as Grand Theory. (2) the theory of Authority as Middle Range Theory, and (3) the theory of Legal Norms as Applied Theory.

Prevalence of Zoonotic Gastrointestinal Helminth Parasites (ZGIHP) of Dogs Presented to the Small Animal Clinic of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Benue State
PER Msugh Felix, IKYE-TOR Philomina Mde, UWONDO, Aliko Emmanuel; ESONU, Daniel Obinna Abstract: Dogs are the most common pet animals worldwide and have been reported to be hosts of many intestinal parasites of zoonotic importance globally. In Nigeria, gastrointestinal helminthes of dogs is currently endemic in 20 of the 36 states including Benue state.Out of 97 samples analysed 32 (32.99%) were positive of at least one of the parasites over a period of 4 months (October 2016 - January 2017). There was higher occurrence of single infection 28(87.5%) than concurrent mixed infections 4(12.5%). The Helminth parasites recovered from dog’s faeces were Ancylostoma caninum 30(30.93%) and Dipylidium caninum 6 (6.12%). There was no significant difference in prevalence with respect to age (P=0.300), breed (P=0.137), sex (P=0.538), month (P=0.443) and location (P=0.540). However, there was higher prevalence in young, local, male dogs.This study showed that there is high prevalence of ZGIHP of dogs in Makurdi. This can be a potential source of infection to other healthy dogs and humans.There is a need to continuously carryout public enlightenment campaign on the dangers of infection with helminthes by the appropriate agencies. A wider study should be carried out for a longer period to cover all seasons and possible dog ownership in the city.

LITERACY AND IMPROVED LIVING IN NIGERIAN COMMUNITIES
Adedokun, M.O (Ph.D.); Kayode, G.M Abstract: Education is a vital tool for development because it is a life-long process. Education whether formal, informal or non-formal is germane to development and improved living. Education, with which literacy is essentially associated can lead to improved living both on a personal basis and on the community level. This is a fact when education is viewed not only as a social service but a transformative act that is fundamental to people as well as community development as it expands people knowledge base. Literacy, which used to be traditionally defined as the ability to read, write and calculate has drastically left this stage as the world is globally technologically driven and bearing in mind that literacy is man capacity to expand his own consciousness in a bid to exercise his power over himself, his environment and his society at large. Literacy has also been internationally identified both as human right and a crucial instrument for the personal pursuit of other rights. This paper ,therefore, addresses the importance of literacy acquisition in a bid to meet the needs of all to achieve improved living, self esteem, empowerment, creativity, critical reflection and to access vital information needed for self growth and community development. The author recommends among others that literacy should be accompanied by technology in this technological driven age, that the Federal Government of Nigeria should desist from emphasising formal education but should fund non- formal education to enable every person have access to education. Individuals too must be willing to become literate to overcome poverty.
